The tangy griotte (morello) cherry-scented 1999 Charmes-Chambertin is medium to dark ruby-colored. This zesty, fresh, and highly delineated wine is crammed with raspberries, cherries, tangy currants, and juicy blueberries. It has outstanding purity and an extraordinarily long, suave finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
